Buy Local Season and 2017 Limited Edition Plush

Today marks the start of Buy Local Season here in the Triad of North Carolina, and Falafel the Llama, Griswold the Sheep, and Baxter the Horse have returned as the faces of Triad Local First‘s Buy Local Season campaign! For the past seven years, TLF has been hosting Buy Local Season to encourage local shopping throughout the holiday season. Posters with Falafel, Griswold, and Baxter will be popping up all over the Triad to remind shoppers to support local business!

The limited edition plush for 2016’s Buy Local Season sold out quickly last year. Griswold the Sheep sold within seconds of being listed on Etsy! In order to allow people more time to purchase the limited edition plush this year, I’ll be hosting an auction for them on Facebook. The auction will begin at 8 p.m. EST on Black Friday, November 24, and will end at 8 p.m. EST on Wednesday, November 29. There’s only one of each, so be sure to mark your calendar for the auction times and follow Fluffmonger on Facebook! (See bottom of post for details and auction rules.)

Falafel, Baxter, and Griswold are made with:

hand-dyed organic cotton and hemp fabrics

organic cotton and rPET thread

organic cotton ribbon

organic buckwheat hull stuffing

These particular plush items are intended as collectibles and may not be suitable for small children due to small parts with handstitched features. (For plush intended for all ages, see my Etsy shop.)

Auction for limited edition 2017 Buy Local Season plush will begin at 8 p.m. EST on Black Friday, November 24, and will end at 8 p.m. EST on Wednesday, November 29. A photo of each plush animal will be posted to Fluffmonger’s Facebook page at 8 p.m. on November 29, and bids will be posted as comments on the individual photos.
